Did Pickens check out?

[GimmeTheBall!]

The lad was targeted 9 times.
He caught 3 balls for 33 yards.
Dismal outing for me fave player.

Or did Dak and Klayton Adams check him out of their game plan?

 

[plymkr]

I think the offensive line checked them all out. With that being said I'm good with parting ways with Pickens and putting the resources into the defense. Especially DE and S.

 

[Doomsday]

I don't know why Schotty was so determined to attack the middle of the field when they are loading up the LOS and dropping guys back into the middle of the field. We needed to attack the sidelines more with Pickens and Lamb.

How about putting Pickens in motion from time to time as well.

 

[RonWashington]

Seems they traded Asim Richards to New Orleans start of camp or so . Can’t have too much depth in the trenches . Speaking of OL taking people out of the Game plan .Oh well

 

[Boyzmamacita]

The O-line performance interfered with whatever the gameplan was. CeeDee flourished, though, so I wonder if Dak doesn't trust GeePee right now.

How many of his targets were 'his' drop and catchable, or on the throw? Does he commit double team attention (especially useful if he takes the top of the Defense and takes a Safety with him).
I thought the idea was to give Dak a variety of Targets that complimented him, find the Hot Hand.

We haven’t been doing a good job getting GP the ball& surprise surprise we are losing football games.

Opponents view Pickens as the most dangerous receiver to contend with and are covering him every square foot. Hopefully he and we will find ways to the get the ball to him. Our inconsistent defense also undermines our ability to manage and increase our lead in games.

this is exactly why we need Lamb and Pickens.. teams can blanket just one of them, then the other can step up.

Once again, I will state the obvious. Your QB cannot perform, your RB crew cannot perform. Your Receiving Crew cannot perform when your OL is awful

[MyFairLady]

We should probably trade our draft picks for JaMarr Chase. That way we can get the most out of Ceedee at Pickens and support dak as much as possible.

 

[DCBoysfan]

I was at the game, and you can see that the Vikings doubled him quite a bit. They actually did a good job of it. They wound should single coverage and then rotate someone over at the last second.

 

[Rayman70]

The oline and back 7 are awful. Our DC, AWFUL

I understand some frustration but ya'll are overstating the OL issues. JWill had 91 yards on 15 carries. The Vikings were sending an extra guy most plays. That's not an OL issue.

Idk what the game plan was last night but it didn’t seem Dak was really trying to get Pickens the ball.

Do you think we will find a WR that can draw double teams in free agency or the lower part of the draft?

Probably not but what good is an offense that scores 30 points a game when you have a defense that gives up 35 points a game?

Pass protection was atrocious

 

[McKDaddy]

Pass protection was atrocious

but how much of it was extra defenders beating non linemen?
